Wow you guys have been busy =)....

Finally got around to doing some work on my chevy. Sanded the floor boards and discovered very little rust and just painted lightly so it wouldnt rust.....Mock up my Lokar shifter to see the Height(High Hump as you can see), and got my fleetside bed ready to make a Smart Truck LOL.....Actually going to use side panels from my first bed to make a SB Fleet from my '61...Step side bed doesnt do it for me....Oh and I felt like a kid when I found my bow tie shifter knob that I thought I gave away:metal: Lokar Knob adapter Here I come....

Keep up the great work, you all inspire me!!!

Re: What did you do to your truck today?

Re: What did you do to your truck today?
 

Washed the truck along with the other two cars early thing this morning before the temperature climbed up in the 80’s.

Re: What did you do to your truck today?
 

Packed the chinese rad up to ship back to Ledfoot, both tanks are too deep (front to back), only way to fit it in would be to modify the cradles on the bottom, and the bracket on the top. Rad was also about 2" narrower than the original. Dropped my rad off at a rad shop for a re-core.

Also installed new speakers in the doors, PO already carved up the doors... Used the foam baffles, protection from water, and improved sound.

Re: What did you do to your truck today?
 

Yes guys I almost considered making a tool box out of it and put it on the bed LOL....Nope I love the fleet side look so much that I decided to take the best of two beds and make one!!!

See Ya':ito:

Hey I got an idea for a 6 door ultra crew cab and that bed would be perfect.... I just need about 22" and yours looks like it fits the bill...:metal::lol:

I went for a nice long drive tonight, finally got my rad situation sorted out, got it back together and went for a nice long cruise. Man that felt good!

Didn't actually do anything to the truck, but after a lot of research received my new Precision brand windshield gasket today for the stainless trim install. Woohoo!
